The plot thickens. LE is going to have some explaining to do. Any way you look at it, there's a lot more to this story.

And guess what, folks? With so much homelessness in the country, our national parks, national forests, and campsites aren't safe.
According to the son's update, not the same guy.

Update: this apparently happened at 2am on Thursday so couldn’t have been the same person but still please reach out to the detective. Thanks!

I hope we get some answers, but now that she's been found safe, the info will probably dry up for privacy reasons.
I've been wondering about that, too. 2.5 miles, and she was moving on a downhill slope, according to info so far; that distance can be covered in an hour or so, depending on the terrain.

Presumably, the point of the traveling, was to make sure she was away from the bad guy, but she was only about 2 miles away from where she'd encountered him. That's way too close for comfort. Or maybe not, depending on the terrain.


I hope, that after she's rested and eaten, we'll get a more coherent narrative from her. And it doesn't look to me like the family's concerned about privacy. *ahem*. It's a little too late for that, now. I'm hoping their son will edit his FB post tomorrow.

In a completely different county, and that perp was shot and killed on the spot. Thank you for this update.
I'm curious about the guy with the knife. how did he get there; hike in? If he hiked in, where's his stuff? Did he hitch a ride into the general area? Strange.

The son's FB post has been removed.

Anyone who saw it before it was removed can still see it because it is cached, but please stop posting the dead FB link.

That's good they removed the post. It was weird to have provided that level of detail, they are most likely very traumatised and not thinking straight.

It makes no sense.

Very weird!!

Also, not smart from an investigative/LEO perspective to provide all those details that may later help LEO arrest or convict someone or weed out any crackpots who give a false confession for attention.

It's not removed. He has it public, so anyone can still see it.

They need to remove it. No-one needs to read that level of detail and what is her son even thinking, posting it?

Also, what Blondy said:

I am so glad too but dang ... I have 6 sons between the ages of 23 & 33 ... just not going there. No.
